Macadamian Pliers seems pleasant enough. After all, the Raines shouldn't judge him because of his stitched shut eye, that twist of a smile, the strange angles he's made of. He's sold them a beautiful house... and he'll send them screaming from it if it's the last thing he does. Frank Raine loves ghosts, so the fact that there's one in the house is totally awesome. His new friend, Jack, ain't that bad either. So what if he's the local firebug and a serious liability? But these ghosts are not a game. They bite. Hard. And there's a bizarre fellow lurking at the bottom of the garden every night, doing... something. A car crash left Cherry physically weak, and bullying kids are getting her down. Does Cherry have any fight left? Because the thing is, Macadamian doesn't take kindly to silly little girls... Sometimes you really should judge a book by its cover.
